we’ve finally finished his room! well, mostly finished… finished enough to show you anyways. :) we went through many iterations of design concepts, but finally landed on something we both love. we cannot wait for our little man to come home to this!

it is official, i no longer have a black thumb (the kind that kills plants), it's finally green. okay, the sunshine in the new apartment might have something to do with that, but it's fine, i will take the credit on this one. now, as i sit on my patio among my jungle i can't help but smile at how much things have changed. this is my transition from a plant-mom to an apartment farmer with a green thumb love affair.

part 3 of the 3-part series on buying your first home - the hard part, narrowing down that wishlist. if you're just joining in on the series you don't want to skip the 2 previous parts to this series. earlier this week, Kallen Deck, an Atlanta house hunting maven and Realtor, hit on where to begin when considering buying your first home. in part 1, she discussed how to tell if you're ready, how to select an agent and how to choose a location. in part 2, she covered all things money and now she has some great suggestions for determining what's a need versus a want. it's always a good thing to have someone around who can keep your dreams alive, but also tether you to reality.

part 2 of this 3-part series; earlier this week i met with Kallen Deck, an incredible Atlanta Realtor, to discuss where to begin when considering buying your first home. in part 1, she discussed how to tell if you're ready, how to select an agent and how to choose a location. part 2 will cover everything money - this topic is most stressful to me and found Kallen's advice incredibly helpful. the final piece of this 3-part series will talk about wishlists versus reality.

part 1 of this 3-part series. buying a house is a complicated, scary and exciting experience, but definitely too long for just one post. so this is a 3-part series for what you will want to know from the beginning. part 1 of this 3-part series will address the age old questions of "am i ready?", "who should i work with" and "where should i plant my roots".

a sapphire blue sofa is sitting in my living room now - what?! my love of velvet sofas has been a longtime love and has only grown over time. want to see my newest baby or other ones i’m currently loving?
